At 9:13 A.M., a sports car is traveling 30 miles per hour. Two minutes later, the car is traveling 90 miles per hour. The mean value theorem guarantees that at some time during this two-minute interval, the car's acceleration is exactly A miles per hour squared. Compute the value of A. A = mi/h² Need Help? Read It

The cost of operating a large ship (CO) varies as the square of its velocity (v); specifically, CO = knv2, where n is the trip length in miles and k is a constant of proportionality. It is known that at 12 miles/hour, the average cost of operation is $100 per mile. The owner of the ship wants to minimize the cost of operation, but it must be balanced against the cost of the perishable cargo (Cc), which the customer has set at $1,500 per hour. At what velocity should the trip be planned to minimize the total cost (CT), which is the sum of the cost of operating the ship and the cost of perishable cargo?

You want to calculate the area of your dorm room which is in a rectangular shape. You measure the length and the width of the room as L = 5.6 ± 0.1 m, W = 4.2 + 0.1 m. What is the absolute error in the area in m² units?
Volume = area × thickness. Find the volume V as a function of the area A if the thickness is 1.0 cm
Azelastine hydrochloride is an antihistamine nasal spray. A standard size container holds one fluid ounce (oz.) of the liquid. You are searching for this medication in a European drugstore and are asked how many milliliters (mL) there are in one fluid ounce. Using the following conversion factors, determine the number of milliliters in a volume of 1.55 fluid ounces: 1 gallon (gal) = 128 oz., 3.785 x 10-³ cubic meters (m³) = 1 gal, 1 mL = 10-6 m³. Number i 29.57 Units mL
You find an old book and decide to estimate the thickness of one of the sheets or leafs. Neglecting the front and back cover, if all the sheets of book are 3 inches thick, and has 1024 marked pages (numbered 1 to 1024), what is the approximate thickness of the sheet in units of mm. Hint: Each sheet of leaf of paper has 2 pages (think about any textbook or magazine).

The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada is reported to have the largest tides in the world with high tide and low tide occurring two times per day. The tides can measure over approximately 50.0 ft in height. At the Hopewell rocks at Hopewell cape, on a specific day height increase was recorded as a rate of 6.08 feet per hour. What is the rate in meters per second? Use Dimensional analysis to find answer.

The depth of the ocean is sometimes measured in fathoms (1 fathom = 6 feet). Distance on the surface of the ocean is sometimes measured in nautical miles (1 nautical mile = 6076 feet). The water beneath a surface rectangle 1.20 nautical miles by 3.70 nautical miles has a depth of 18.0 fathoms. Find the volume of water (in cubic meters) beneath this rectangle. Number i Units
